Episode 457 Operation to Infiltrate the Water Source Zone (4)
Viscount Giuseppe Baldini, the devil of the Leviathan family, was a man who held an important position in the Tochica Extermination Battle.
He was guarding the back of the fortress, relatively far from the front line surrounding Tochika.
The frontal siege of Tochka Fort was so tight that there was no room for even a single needle to go through, but the rear, where only Tochka’s walls were visible, had relatively loose boundaries.
However, even if it was loose, it was only relative. Viscount Baldini had countless demons guard the post, and he himself was always on standby at the command tower barracks in the center, and was not lowering his guard.
[……but. How fortunate is this though. There will be no enemies coming to the rear like this.]
Even before becoming a demon, Viscount Baldini had a personality that sought stability and safety.
Even though he became a demon and gained great power, his personality did not change much.
[If the enemy appears elsewhere after being stationed here, it is enough to quickly send reinforcements there. Even if you stay a little relaxed during normal times, you just need to respond quickly to wartime.]
That is why Viscount Baldini is still enjoying his banquet, savoring black tea and biscuits.
Right then. The sound of the
guardhouse
door opening was heard.
At the same time, the sounds of some low-level demons spitting out in embarrassment were also heard.
[Ha, you can’t go in without thinking…]
[Uh- I can’t…]
[Oh really…]
Viscount Baldini raised his head wondering what was going on.
Then I see a woman standing there.
The red hair that flowed like a waterfall and the intensely shining red eyes were dark in color, as if they had been soaked in blood.
More than anything else, this overwhelming magi emanating from her…
I hurriedly looked at today’s schedule, but there was no appointment with a high-ranking demon.
There was also no specific schedule for visits from the upper level.
Viscount Baldini was very nervous.
[……Who are you?]
In response to Viscount Baldini’s question, the red-haired woman revealed her identity and affiliation.
[I am Tzersi, the left wing commander of the main base of the Tochika Extermination Squad. You have to pass through this post to go to the rear, so fill out the pass.]
Viscount Baldini tilted his head to remember if there was a high-ranking horseman named Tzersi in the headquarters.
However, there was no female Mine in the Leviathan house with the name and rank he knew.
‘Well, I don’t know all the people in my family. It could also be someone from the Usher or Don Quixote family.’
Recently, the Leviathan family had absorbed the troops of the Usher family and the Don Quixote family, rapidly increasing the family’s prestige.
Because of this, the chain of command has not yet been perfectly systematized.
So, rather than rushing into suspicion, Viscount Baldini decided to continue the conversation in a soft tone.
[Excuse me very much… I have such a bad memory that I can’t remember who you are. For what reason do you want to pass this place?]
[Should I tell you all that? It is an extremely confidential matter determined by headquarters. Give me the pass.]
The red-haired woman, who announced her name as Tjersi, snorted and commanded in an arrogant tone.
Viscount Baldini held back his trembling heart.
‘Looking at him as an arrogant kid, he’s definitely a demon from the Leviathan family. There’s nothing to check.’
However, Viscount Baldini was also not easy.
[sorry. As it is a wartime situation, we will follow military law. Can you show me your ID?]
At those words, Tjersi’s brow furrowed.
The demonic energy she had been radiating subtly from earlier now began to radiate openly.
[……good night. Are you going to protest?]
[That’s not what I want you to do. Although I am a collateral person, I have visited the family a few times. It seemed like someone I hadn’t seen back then…]
[Huh! Isn’t it natural that I’m an illegitimate child? You idiot.]
When the word illegitimate came out, Viscount Baldini fell silent.
If he was an illegitimate child from his family, he would hardly be seen as a collateral person.
In any case, an illegitimate child is a disgrace to the family.
‘I came up with a story that I didn’t see it for no reason. I’ve touched the illegitimate complex of a high-looking person, so it’s going to be a headache?’
Tzersi opened her mouth the moment Viscount Baldini realized that things were twisting inside him.
[good. okay. You don’t need a pass. Go back to base and come back with your ID. As you said, it is military law.]
[……Yes? Ahhh. thank you. Thank you for your understanding.]
Viscount Baldini widened his eyes as he unexpectedly thought the matter would be resolved with ease.
To the point where I felt suspicious that the other party was so obediently backing away.
……but. Viscount Baldini was astonished at the words of Tjersey that followed.
[You seem to really like martial law, so I’ll do it for you. I’m going to go back to the main base ‘again’ and get my ID. An urgent mission to the point where I forgot my ID will be delayed a lot because of your inflexible attitude. You will definitely have to pay the price.]
[…]
[Oh and. Before we go back, shall we take a look at the grooming of the sword and shield hanging from your waist? Take it out in front of me right now. And why are the buttons on the uniform top undone? Why was the knot on the shoelace tied that way? Before going back to base, I’m going to take a look at how well you’re abiding by military law. And I’ll report it to the superiors as soon as I get back.]
Heat like hellfire was pouring out of Tjerusi’s eyes.
The spirit of not being able to tolerate even the smallest, extremely minute pods.
She shouted at Viscount Baldini, who was shivering before her eyes.
[attention! Where does the superior say, but you keep sitting down! You cheeky bastard!]
[Sorry!]
Viscount Baldini quickly stood up and saluted.
Tjersi gnashed her teeth and circled around him.
According to military law, everything in this space is illegal.
The sword was slightly stained, and the shield was also slightly rusted.
Dust flew inside the barracks, and some of the soldiers’ clothes had buttons or strings undone.
[I tried to be moderately flexible, but looking at your attitude, I can’t.]
[…]
[Poor clothing, poor maintenance, poor sanitation in the barracks, soldiers’ discipline hey… plus black tea in the middle of the battlefield Were you even eating biscuits? Apparently, it’s not even a supply item, it’s a homemade snack. Besides, is now the time to eat?]
[…]
[You’re not following any of the military laws that you like. What about that?]
[…]
[A guy like you who is strict with others and lenient with himself is bound to have a big accident someday.]
Tzersi suddenly reached out and grabbed Viscount Baldini’s hair and pulled it back. Pulled.
…wow!
Then he said in an eerie voice.
[I can’t. I’ll have to send you to the front line tomorrow morning. As soon as I return to the main base, I will make a suggestion…]
At that time, Viscount Baldini shouted in a voice almost on the verge of crying.
[Sat pass! I’ll write you a pass! I have committed a mortal sin!]
Then, Tjersi shook her head.
[I do not need. I’m going back to base. Your division and unit will be organized into the frontline suicide bombers as of tomorrow morning.]
[The frontline!? Suicide assault squad there!?]
The assault squad suffered the most casualties in today’s siege with Marquis Sade, the commander of Orca.
Viscount Baldini’s expression began to turn as pale as that of a corpse.
Viscount Baldini, who was usually complacent and self-confident, knelt down on the floor and began to pray.
[My thoughts were short! We will give you a pass and contact the rear to arrange for you to go as smoothly as possible! Please, the assault force…!]
The atmosphere in the barracks completely changed.
It was only then that Tjersi nodded annoyedly.
[I have memorized your face and name. If something happens that makes me go back to base…]
[I’ll make arrangements so you can go without that happening!]
[…Hmm. Trust me.]
After finishing her speech, Tjersi snorted and took the pass.
Then he turned around and left the barracks.
Only then did Viscount Baldini, who was left in the barracks, let out a sigh of relief as he wiped off his cold sweat.
A low-ranking demon next to him asked with an anxious expression.
[Viscount. Would it be all right if you issued a pass without an ID?]
[Yeah. Didn’t you see that bitch’s magi just now?]
Viscount Baldini continued, shaking his head as if he had just dropped a crane.
[And looking at what you’re doing, you’re a poisonous person. It’s a devil to the core.]
* * *
[Look at that. Didn’t I say this works?”
Tjersi. She instantly returned her low voice.
Morgue Mu Camu. She sold the name of her ancestor a long time ago and pretended to be a demon.
“The name is Magi . It’s a name that gives off a lot of love. And I am also confident in my ability to emit demonic energy. Of course, it only smells.”
After speaking, Kamyu turned her head. On top of her shoulder
, Siere, who had been squeezed to smell only, was dripping with tears.
Well
, anyway .
The first gate to the Suwon area was easily breached thanks to Camus’ wit. Since he received a pass from Viscount Baldini
,
the gates behind him were also close to a free pass.
After that, a few more guard posts When it passed.
Huuk –
The wind blowing from the front brushed everyone’s noses.
The wind carried a warm and disgusting aura.
When Bikir looked up, he could see red demons swaying across the horizon.
“… ..plaguelands. It seems like a place teeming with poisons.”
“From here on out, I’ll take cover.”
Dolores gave everyone a drop of the saint’s tears made by gathering the remaining holy power.
Except for Vikir and Camus, who are immune to almost all poisons. Afterwards, everyone was able to overcome the red death by receiving the protection of Dolores.
Eventually, the eight-member death squad passed the gentle ridge and headed for the next gateway.
In the middle, a red mist was spreading over the floor where the bodies of the poisoners were scattered
. Through the red fog, the second encirclement of Leviathan is visible.
Bikir, who saw the shadow of the barracks and barracks, began to calculate the distance.
In a place where there are poisonous people, strategies such as disguised identity will no longer work.
“In 15 minutes , Infiltrate inside.”
From now on, it was the moment when a forced breakthrough was needed.
